Michigan Mothers and Their Babies

There are four States in which mar
ried mothers now have a legal right
to their children.
In the winter Of 1871, Mrs. Pru-
dence NJ. Pratt, aged then ffty-three,
now sixty-eight years old, living in
Lansing, went before the Legislature
of Michigan with petition numer-
ously signed, which asked that the
mother should have a right to her
children She said: Gentlemen, I
have come to stay until this right is
granted. Every year [ shall come, as
long as [ live, unless this is given .
well" said one man, Il guess. we had
better do what we can for you
Through rain and sleet, mud and
snow, she went daily to the Legisla-
ture, alert to watch the bill on every
side. After many arguments pro and
con, she saw it safely through both
houses, and at last the signature of
the Governor of Michigan was writ
ten upon it and it became law.
Nevermore shall ruthless men tear
from the mothers arms her newborn
babe or darling two-ye old! Forever
and ever in Michigan, the mother
owns her babies and her children up
to the period of fourteen years, when
they can choose their guardian for
themselves in cases of difference be-
tween mother and father. Many law
yers and judges have [ heard express
their sentiments in regard to the
comfort they have been able to give
to trembling mothers, their hearts
throbbing with fear lest their treas
ures more precious than fine gold
should be snatched away from them
by those who had promised to love
and cherish them" Strange loving
and cherishing! A strange oath that,
which would tear from the mother
her life blood! Mrs. p. NJ. Pratt is
not known in fashionable butterfly
societies, but she is beloved by many
for her solid worth, for her intelli-
gence and sterling integrity and love
for her own sex. and for the dear
little children of her State. When
she dies she will need no monument,
for the bill she introduced and had
passed in Michigan for the comfort of
many heart broken wife and mother
will serve as a monument that time
and age will not Destroy JFoman's
Journal.

wage Sunday is the only day which
I have to myself and if [ may not
on that day go to the country and
breathe the fresh air, and hear the
birds, I never can" then 1 have moth
ing to say. 1 take the workingman's
side, to a certain extent. But then,
stop Seeing the country and hear
ing the birds is very well but man
must learn how to see and hear them.
And that he does not learn by going
out with a hundred others, who are
rough, uncouth, uninstructed. I take
comfort in these things. because [
have a Sabbath, a sanctuary, and
closet for prayer 1t is the spiritual
element that has taught me to see
nature in such a way that is a pleas
me and benefit to me. But little en-
ioyment do they have in taste who
have not been educated in their moral
sentiments. What they need is more,
not less, open air in the country but
first they need the means of inter
preting what they see there. And
although their attics a. 9 bad, and
their cellars are dark and unwhole-
some, you can do the laboring classes
no other service half so great as
when, on Sunday, you inspire them
with more desire to learn, with more
manliness, with more spirituality.
l would rather a thousand times
see rightly guarded and rightly
nlaced readinC-rooms established for
workingmen, where, on Sunday, they
would be brought into commerce with
books and papers, and with people
who could give them instruction, than
to send them by cars into the country
on Sunday, good as they may be in
many respects. What they need, first
of all things, is spiritual, religious
instruction, manliness founded on the
central of the passions and appetites,
morality, virtue, true piety-that is
the making of any man. That is the
making of communities. Let men
have that. Do not sacrifice that for
the sake of giving them fresh air in
the country. If the two could be
blended, if they could have the oppor
tunlty of the day IN the sanctuary
and the opportunity of the day in the
country, l think it would be better,
though [ do not know as that would
be practicable.
There is nothing that I have more
at heart than to rescue the observance
of the Lords Day. 1t lies very near
to me and is very dear to me- But I
do not believe you can rescue it by
law. The Sabbath Day, to be rightly
maintained, must be made honorable.
1t must be made a delight. 1t must
be so kept, and such views must be
incufcated in respect to it, that men
shall look upon it as day of release
from bondage and toll, and that it
shall suggest to them something
higher than mere animal pleasure

The M. p. sunday school Pic Mic.

The h. Il. sunday school Pic Mic.
The picnic given by the NJ. P. Sunday
School, of this city, last Thursday was a
most pleasant occasion and by many will be
remembered as one of the pleasantest events
ever gwen by the school. The scholars turn
ed out in full force and large representa-
ton of teachers and friends of the school
Joined them in making the occasion grand
success. The pic-nicers drove out Of town
few minutes after eight O'Clock, and rea CHI
ing their destination (Clinard's Stand)
shortly after nine, were soon enjoying the
many festivities and continued them until
the hour arrived to gather around
a table fifty feet in length, 1adened with
dinner that did honor to the occasion. II
is needless to add that every one present did
justice to the many delacacies that were
spread before them.
Our reporter did not reach the ground
until after the repast was served, but was in
time to enjoy the cake and lemonade which
flowed N abundance.
The picnic was an enjoyable one, and so
pronounced by every one present, especially
one couple who sought 20 enjoy the occasion
alone-and judging from appearance their
days of Single blessedness" have long since
been numbered.
There was nothing TO mar the occasion
until just. before the hour arrived for the
crowd to start for their various homes. It
was then that lad of about eight or ter
summers was seen to plunge backward,
| into the tub of ice-cold lemonade. To say
that he WAS thoroughly drenched and fell
as if chilling breeze had passed that way
| would be putt ing it in plain terms, judging
| from his countenance when rescued.
Soon the crowd were enroute for home
bearing with them pleasant memories of til,
| pic mic given by the Methodist Protestan
/ s unday School.

A Creditable Entertainments.

The musical and Evolutionary entertain
ment given at the Opera House last Thurs
day night was largely attended by our pen
pie and withal grand success. Prof. Hou S.
ton, as Elocutionist, prove. himself a
master of his profession and received nu-
merous comments from an attentive and
appreciative audience. The musical part
of the program, which was furnished by the
Salem Orchestra, likewise came in for Its
share of favorable comment, maintaining
throughout their reputation as amateur
musicians of the first grade. Our people
feel proud, and justly SO, of the Salem Or
chestra, which never fails to render the
best of music.
